One person has contacted us via the EMF car sharing page and asked for a lift to Stockport or Manchester on Monday. Since we have several southbound-only passengers we can probably accommodate this, but need to work out how much of a detour we can take. TODO: Respond.

Shopping
We will stop at a supermarket on the way to EMF. Group shopping is slow and tedious, so we will do a click-and-collect shop. List your requests here:
- BBQ charcoal (what size?)
- Milk (1L)
Dietary restrictions / preferences:
- Nick: no meat, fish, or peanuts please. Shrimps ok.
Projects/Workshops
SMD workshop
Using grid and/or POV http://www.wayneandlayne.com/projects/blinky-smt/ Really Useful box with 10 Soldering Irons would require transport. Sell kits for a bit over cost price (suggest ~£12 for Grid, £10 for POV) Take extra kits for sale.
Stuff that we would need
- Build an example Grid, we have 10 PCBs already
- Order more PCBs, from china so allow ~6 weeks. Need to order by 1 July to be sure
- Order load of 1206 LEDs, again from China
- Other stuff available from Farnell.
Helpers
2 or 3 helpers to run a 2 hour workshop.

Transport
Depart: Friday morning to arrive late afternoon.
Return: Monday morning to arrive evening.
Current plan:
17-seat minibus with rear three seats removed for luggage space. Driven by Sean with Tim as backup.
Sean has booked and paid for the minibus. Total cost will be £700-800 so the per-person cost should be under £80. Everyone should pay Sean £80 (see your email for the bank details) and he will refund the excess when the final numbers are known.
